You may try to apply the current iPod updater.

  • [Bug] Unchecked songs not being played, skipped in all playlists

    To me this is a bug. I used the check feature to determine what gets transferred to my iPod -- I have 120 gig iPod Classic and over 300 gig of music as can see not all of my music can fit on my iPod.
    1) There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays... just because I have it unchecked doesn't mean that I don't like the track... if I don't like the track, I delete it. Multiple playlist isn't the answer, too cumbersome to maintain
    2) iTunesDJ will play unchecked but will not automatically choose them... what good is that... there needs to be a simple way of doing this too.
    Thanks,
    George

    *There needs to be an easy way to to determine what gets transferred to the iPod without affecting what iTunes plays.*
    Another method you can use to auto-sync your iPod with iTunes is "Sync Music - Selected Playlists". Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, it also makes it much simpler to know exactly what you are syncing to the iPod and what you are not. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync".
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -My iPod for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). Drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod: Syncing Music to iPod
    Using unchecking to manage an iPod is an option (and works fine when you are working with a small number of specialised tracks such as Christmas songs) but only if you can live with the other things unchecking does:
    Unchecked songs will be skipped when playing songs from the library or a selection. They will only play when individually clicked on.
    Smart Playlists have an option that unchecked songs won't appear.
    Unchecked songs will not be burned to CD.
    Genius and iTunesDJ will not use the songs that are unchecked.

  • HT1391 I started download on my iphone and cancelled the same before it could complete. There is no option of removing the incomplete download and also it is affecting my songs in 'Music'. The next or previous song is being played instead of the song sele

    I started a download of a video in the app "Free gift for 12 days". I cancelled the download before it was completed. It is now affecting the music in my phone library, as the next or previous song is being played instead of the selected song. Any suggested solutions?

  • Podcasts not being Removed from my Ipod

    I have several old podcasts that I have deleted from my ITUNES that for some reason, are not being deleted from my ipod...? The podcasts are not showing up in my itunes, so not sure how to clear them out from my ipod?? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The most likely culprit is a playlist that's getting synced to your iPod.
    The big change in this area in 7.7 is that all podcasts, even ones in playlists, appear in the iPod's Podcasts section. Before 7.7 the only episodes that appeared in the Podcasts section were ones that you synced in the Podcasts tab.
    The interesting thing is that this change affects only what shows up in the iPod's Podcasts section, it doesn't affect the files that are actually transferred to the iPod.
    To check this, find one of the episodes with the play count >= 1 in your iTunes library. Right click (or control click) the episode, and in the contextual menu go to Show In Playlist. See what playlists appear in that list. (Show In Playlist is right under Add To Playlist. If I'm wrong, Show In Playlist won't be there at all.)

  • Podcast no longer exist and podcast can not be played on this ipod

    Ok I subscribed to two podcast one video and one audio and when I try to sync them to my ipod a message pops up and says they can't be synced because they no longer exist. I don't understand that because it downloads them each time there is a new one.
       Well I found a way around that, but now my problem is the video podcast that I subscribed to, when I try to put it on my ipod says it can not be played on this ipod. I don't know why, it's the same format as the other one (.mov). I know I can reformat it, I already did that with one but it's like twice the size or more of the original format plus I don't want to sit and reformat each one it takes too much time.
    If there is anyway I can fix this without reformatting please let me know. And if you know how to fix the first problem please that would be great.
    btw I have an ipod nano 3rd generation.

    Are the files you are trying to import mp3's? If not then either use iTunes to convert them or get some other third party program (i found a few really good ones but i can't remember what they were called). If they are mp3 maybe try converting them to mp3 again using a different encoder? (my LAME encoded ones seem to work fine)

  • When I want to randomly play (shuffle) all my songs, it seems that the same songs are being played. I've got over 13,000 songs loaded - it seems to me that I shouldn't be getting any repeats.

    When I want to randomly play (shuffle) all my songs, it seems that the same songs are being played. I've got over 13,000 songs loaded - it seems to me that I shouldn't be getting any repeats. I unrated all the songs, thinking this might affect how often a song gets picked to play. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    You will need to do it using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC. Also, see:

    Or because the episodes are video but are in a format which plays on iTunes but not on an iPod Touch. Only the originator of the podcast can do anything about that.

  • HT3702 So, I accidentally downloaded NIN Deep video by mistake.  I thought, I was downloading the song. Nothing even showed up on my ipod. I would like a refund, as there's neither the song, not the video on my ipod.

  • Songs not transferring from iTunes to iPod puzzle

    I update my iPod fairly regularly (mostly for podcasts) and I've noticed recently that a small number of songs aren't being transferred to my iPod when I sync it.
    I converted one song that wasn't transferring from an mp3 format to an aac but still no joy. The songs play fine in iTunes and I've tried a manual update in just transferring the one song but that hasn't worked either.
    Any ideas anyone?

    The songs that are not appearing on your ipod, are they from artists that you have multiple songs? If so, I believe I might know the problem. There is a bug, and I will explain it the simplest way I know how to.
    Let's say that I have 3 songs by Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love", "Black Dog", and "Moby Dick". Now, if I gave "Black Dog" a album title, and I left the other two blank, on your ipod it will skip the album select screen and go straight to "Black Dog", preventing you from selecting the other two. This will also happen if you have 2 songs (let's say "Whole Lotta Love" and "Moby Dick") labeled with the same album title, while your other songs are unlabeled.
    To fix this problem, you must either give another song from the specific artist a different album title from the other labeled ones. Then the ipod will go to the album select screen, and allow you to select "All" which will display all of your labeled and unlabeled songs.
    I hope this helps.

  • ITunes songs don't play on my iPod

    Today I was simply listening to my iPod and I went to a playlist in which all of the songs were ones that I had purchased and downloaded via iTunes. I pressed play, and my iPod simply skipped over all of these songs and would not let me listen to them. This is the 2nd time this has happened, and requires me to connect my iPod to the computer, which may pose problems when traveling. Any suggestions?

    It happens to me as well..I use my ipod to go running with and it is really a pain when it skips through the playlist I have created with purchased music or any purchased music.
    The only way around it so far is connecting the ipod to the computer before each run...which I sometimes forget at 6am!!!
